Home Sweet Home

I live in the semi arid desert region of West Texas called the Permian Basin. A road trip through our part of the country offers amazing views of the sky – bright golden sunrises and watercolor sunsets so immense that they take your breath away. The land is incredibly flat and sprinkled with mesquite trees, cactus and the occasional wild flower. Breaking the monotony of the landscape, oil wells, pump jacks and wind turbines accent the horizon. Cattle ranches spread far and wide sharing the natural resources that West Texas offers. The birthplace of a U. S. President and the home of "Friday Night Lights," Odessa offers a beauty all it's own. It is a good place to build a life.

11 DAYS AND COUNTING

It is beginning to feel like the end. The kids worked well today on their Pop Show music. They seem really excited. Choreography work made the day very noisy, but fun. Some kids asked questions about choir plans for next year. I am beginning to hear whisperings about a retirement reception .... at least I think so. I was instructed to report to the administration building next Monday and that I would probably want to dress up. My guess - a retirement reception. The day ended in an expected, but surreal way. My hand picked replacement came to Nimitz for her interview and her transfer papers were signed. I feel like a "lame duck" choir director. But, that doesn't feel bad at all. Change can be good.
